Stem Cell Therapy for Multiple Sclerosis in Istanbul

The route, the number of administrations, the neurology review, laboratory work and the monitoring after each session. Our patient coordination team sets those out line by line, with the clinical reason for anything added. A larger package is a larger bill, and our team will not recommend one without a reason it can defend in writing.

All three courses are assessed, but they lead to different conversations. Recent inflammatory activity on MRI, relapse frequency, progression rate, infection risk and current therapy all feed into whether our team proposes treatment, and into which goals are worth setting. Where an MS specialist pathway is the better route, we say so.

Your DMT continues under the neurologist who prescribed it - nothing is paused for our plan without that doctor's agreement. Our medical team reviews the medication, its timing and your immune status before treatment, because infection risk and scheduling depend on them, and shares the plan with your neurologist.

It is a procedure carried out under sterile conditions by a physician, placing the preparation into the fluid around the spinal cord, with an observation period afterwards. It carries risks an infusion does not, including headache, bleeding and infection. Our team explains those in detail and proposes the route only where the reasoning holds for your case.

Yes. Our regenerative medicine program works with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) grown from Wharton's jelly, the gelatinous tissue inside the umbilical cord. It is donated after a healthy birth with written maternal consent, from tissue that would otherwise be discarded, so nothing is taken from mother or baby and none of the ethical questions attached to embryonic sources arise. Because these cells expand readily in culture, a batch is characterised and release-tested before it reaches anyone. Your written plan names the material, how it is prepared, the dose, the route of administration and the schedule, and our medical team explains why each of those was chosen for your case.

Wharton's jelly is a young, perinatal tissue rather than an adult one, so the starting material does not carry the age or the health history of the person being treated, and nothing has to be harvested from you on the day. These cells also have a low-immunogenicity profile, which is why this source is studied for use between unrelated people. Most of all, they are strong secretors: the signalling molecules MSCs release are the mechanism most current research centres on, and that is what a plan is built around.

The length of stay follows your plan: the route of administration, the number of sessions, the monitoring after each one, and any mobility or assistance you need. Our patient coordination team confirms appointment dates, daily timings and the expected length of the visit in writing before you book flights.

No medical procedure is free of risk. Our medical team screens for infection, bleeding risk, medication interactions and other contraindications before treatment, explains the risks specific to the route used in your plan, and monitors you during administration and afterwards. If something makes treatment unsafe for you, we say so instead of proceeding.

Goals are set with you and described as aims, not results. Regenerative medicine treatments are planned individually, responses vary between patients and no clinical outcome can be guaranteed. Your plan states what will be measured, when it will be reviewed, and how treatment sits alongside the care you already receive.

Send your confirmed diagnosis, recent reports and imaging, your current medication list, previous procedures and the goals that matter to you. Our medical team reviews them remotely and comes back with an assessment of whether treatment in Istanbul is appropriate for your case, and what the next step would be.
